Function-as-a-Service (faas) execution dispatcher

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a method for distributing functions among data centers of cloud systems that provide functions as a service (FaaS). For example, the present disclosure provides one or more function dispatchers configured to receive a request to load or execute a function, automatically determine a suitable data center to load or execute the function, and automatically on the determined data center Load or execute a function. In some embodiments, the function allocator is further configured to determine a suitable data center to provide storage resources for the function, and configure the function to utilize the storage resources of the determined data center.
